After Leslie returned to the newspaper office, he went to investigate. After all, the ones who could live in were definitely not ordinary side branches. Facts have proved that his idea was correct. The one who returned to St. Petersburg that day was indeed a member of the Lawrence family. This person was still low-key. The direct descendants of the duke.
At this time, he didn't care whether the news was angered by the Lawrence family, he just felt that the bright future of the future was waving to him.
That night a piece of news swept the entire country B, and then major newspapers and magazines printed the news one after another, and the headlines of the webpages changed one after another—
"The Grandson of the Duke of Combs is dating a boyfriend in the castle late at night! "
"Little Mr. Lawrence's lover is a man!" "
"Shock! The fall of nobility! "
...
There are so many eye-catching titles like this.
There is no country in the world where the people do not gossip, even in a country like country B, which is reserved and somewhat rigid. On the contrary, news about the royal family is actually the most popular. Therefore, many newspapers and magazines depicting the royal family such as "B Country Gossip Publication" came into being.
However, in recent years, the number of members of the royal family has gradually decreased, and everyone has focused their attention on a few big noble families. Topics such as what to eat today, what to wear tomorrow, which family has conflicts with which family, etc. They like to hear and see the most and also like to complain.
The Lawrence family is the most famous and oldest family in country B, but the news about the secret meeting of men and women broke out. The hit rate of the website can be imagined. It even surpassed the news about the prince's wedding last year and became the most watched news in recent years.
Not long after the news was posted on the webpage, it was forwarded by foreign students to their own country, and then swept across the entire O continent. Even people in other countries said that the news was a bit hot! It's just that this picture is a bit hard to describe... I don't know if there are any deeper inside stories...
How should the Lawrence family deal with such a scandal? Will you accept a son-in-law? Become the content that everyone is most looking forward to.
Mo Shaoqing heard the phone ringing in a daze, woke up and looked at the phone, only to find that it was past eight o'clock.
The caller ID is Raisa in China. Ling Senhao had already greeted Ruisa before, and he must have told her that the two parties were going to meet their parents. Is there any important thing to call at this time
"Hello, is this Shaoqing? I took a new job for you..." Reisa always spoke directly.
"Working job?" Mo Shaoqing was still a little lost.
"That's right, as you heard, Mr. Ling discussed with me about you early this morning..." Having said that, Reisa paused and softened her voice, "First of all, congratulations to you, Shaoqing. , become a father!"
"Thank you, Sister Ruisa!" Mo Shaoqing was not surprised when Ruisa knew about this.
"That's right, Mr. Ling hopes that I can help you take on some easy jobs that can often appear in front of the public. I've been busy all day..."
It was only then that Mo Shaoqing realized that it should be early morning in China, "I'm sorry, Sister Ruisha has caused you trouble."
"You can't say that. After all, Beikou lipstick laid the foundation. Now you can be regarded as an artist who has accepted the endorsement of an international big name. Otherwise, if I help you choose a job, I still can't choose it!"
Risa is also suffering in her heart and can't tell. She brought a few artists with her, and they all changed their managers when they were a little famous, or they found a rich man to marry. After finally bringing along a young, handsome and obedient male artist, she is pregnant! ! ! God knows how angry she was when she got the news yesterday, but she was still the lover of her immediate boss.
However, Mo Shaoqing did not propose to withdraw from the entertainment industry, and she still wanted to continue to develop. No matter what the reason was, she was very grateful. She has been in the industry for more than ten years, how many more than ten years can she have in her life? How to take Mo Shaoqing well, then her future can be guaranteed.
"I helped you pick up two new endorsements and a new movie. There are some other jobs. We'll talk about it in detail when you come back. You take care of yourself, you know?"
"My own, thank you Miss Raisa."
The two chatted for nearly an hour, and after hanging up the phone, Mo Shaoqing was relieved and at the same time very moved. Someone told him to rest well last night and go to bed early. But he secretly contacted Reisa to change his job and rearrange his itinerary. How should he repay this kindness
Mo Shaoqing glanced at his phone and found that it was already nine o'clock. Only then did he realize that he was still a guest at An Si's house!
He dressed up and went out, only to find servants crowded in twos and threes whispering in the corridor, and when he went downstairs, he found that there was no one in the living room.
How is this going
Mo Shaoqing was going to go to the small living room to have a look.
Clare saw Mo Shaoqing go downstairs, and walked up to him in three steps at a time, "Don't go there, grandpa is angry! Didn't you see that there is no one downstairs?"
Mo Shaoqing: "Get angry? Why?"
Claire sighed: "Hey, look at today's news."
Mo Shaoqing turned on his mobile phone to surf the Internet, only to find that the second most searched on Weibo had become—the heir of the Duke of Combs having a secret meeting with his boyfriend late at night.
What the hell is this
Claire took out today's newspaper and handed it to Mo Shaoqing: "This is today's Combs Newspaper, which my grandfather reads every day..."
On the first page of Combs, there was a huge accompanying picture, in which two vague men stood in front of a delicate ornate window.
Mo Shaoqing recognized it all at once. Wasn't this the day when he and An Si stood at the window and looked downstairs? The paparazzi are really extraordinary now, and this can also be photographed.
Fortunately for him, the gate was some distance away from the castle, so the photos in the newspaper were not clear.
Suddenly, the two of them clearly heard a shout from the small living room—
"I want to announce to the whole empire how good my son's lover is."
It was Mr. Lawrence's voice. Mo Shaoqing and Claire looked at each other and immediately walked to the small classroom.
"It should be so." Mr. Duke agreed, "We can't let the children be hurt by public opinion. Let's do this!"
Mr. Duke went on to say: "This year's Alice Ball, I have applied to Her Majesty the Queen to hold it in St. Petersburg. I want to introduce you to all the high society. The time will be the day after tomorrow..."
Mother Ling said worriedly: "But father, will this be too hasty?"
With a completely different attitude from Mother Ling, Mr. Lawrence has already made up his mind to hold this ball: "I'm not rushing at all. The Lawrence family hasn't held a banquet for a long time. The citizens may think that our family has long since fallen. A little The magazines dare to make fun of our family, it seems that the people behind all this want to destroy the prestige of the Lawrence family."
"What dance?" Mo Shaoqing, who just came over, didn't hear what was said clearly, and when he came to the small classroom, he found that besides Ling Senhao's family, there were some strangers in suits and leather shoes.
A group of strangers stood up and saluted Mo Shaoqing respectfully, and Mo Shaoqing hurriedly returned the salute.
"Shaoqing, come and sit down." Ling Senhao called Mo Shaoqing to his side.
"What the hell is going on with all this?"
"As you can see, both grandfather and father are angry."
Mo Shaoqing felt very sorry, he seemed to have discredited a century-old family without knowing it.
"No!" Unlike Mo Shaoqing's dejected look, Ling Senhao's expression was even slightly excited.
What's going on here
Ling Senhao explained: "Grandfather and father agree that there is a black hand behind this gossip news, so they plan to hold a dance party, which is equivalent to announcing your identity to all the citizens! By the way, show the black hand behind the scenes."
Mo Shaoqing asked in surprise, "What?"
He doesn't know what it means to hold a dance party, how can holding a dance party be considered as an open relationship to the whole country in disguise
If this is the case, Mo Shaoqing seems to have foreseen the future scene where he will be sprayed to death by sunspots from all over the world. Especially those diehard fans of the royal family and nobles, it is said that there are many in country B.
"You don't want to attend Alice's ball?" Ling Senhao asked back.
Mo Shaoqing couldn't laugh or cry: "Please, I don't even know what this dance is about!"
After some science popularization by Ling Senhao, Mo Shaoqing finally knew what kind of dance this Alice's ball was.
The Alice Ball originated from a ball held by Princess Alice in the 16th century and later Queen Alice for courtship.
After that, the Alice Ball evolved into a social dance. It is intended to give some young gentlemen and ladies some opportunities to communicate and contact.
To put it bluntly, it is an annual large-scale blind date dance. Or a public marriage dance between the rich and powerful.
Due to the long history of the Alice Ball and meeting the needs of the parents, the influence of this ball is very huge.
Unmarried aristocratic ladies, rich ladies, and noble sons will be strictly screened before they can get invitation letters, and the invitees are all over the entire O continent. Of course, there will also be a very small number of outstanding ladies and gentlemen from other continents who will be invited.
The parents of some aristocratic ladies and sons (Mr. Lawrence thinks they are behind the scenes) will also take the opportunity to come to this ball to meet their future daughter-in-law or son-in-law.
Originally, the Alice Ball was held by the nobles in turn, but with the opening up of the society and the loneliness of the nobles, this right was vested in the royal family. It is held by the royal family every year in the palace of L City, and by the way, promote the authority of the royal family.
Therefore, the boys and girls who have participated in this ball will be recognized as real ladies and gentlemen recognized by the royal family. Even if you don't find the other half you like for the time being, after you go back, there will be a steady stream of people asking/marrying.
So those rich people who only have wealth but no social status are scrambling to send their daughters/sons to the ball.
It is conceivable how difficult the annual audit work is.
But this time, the royal officials had reviewed all the lists and issued the invitation letter, but the Duke of Combs intercepted him and called the old king directly, requesting that the venue of the ball be changed to Fort St. Petersburg.
